Friends have told me - this is the right time to jump into the new language - into Perl...

These friends of yours are liars. Trying to learn a language by reading through existing coded modules must be like trying to learn physics by dropping a hammer on your foot repeatedly. It is idiocy. In order to understand a language you need, minimally, to grasp:

Syntax
Data Structures
Logical and Control Structures/Concepts/Constructs
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Buy a book on Perl or read one of the free ones online (use Google). Read the pod documents associated with the language and when you want to know what a specific language feature does use this:perl -f sprintf for instance.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
